Life isn't fair. When I was a boy, I did something good, and I was struck blind as a reward. But there are compensations. My other senses were magnified to superhuman levels. I could "see" all around me with a virtual radar. I grew up using those gifts to become lawyer by day and crimebuster by night, all to help balance the scales in an unjust world.
comic / 616 verse: primarily based on and set during daredevil (2011)
mcu verse: canon compliant with daredevil (2015) and daredevil: born again (2025)

GENERAL.Β basic rp etiquette applies: donβt control my muse in any major ways or without talking to me first; donβt assume things about my matt and their characterization; and generally, be nice. any hate sent to my inbox will be promptly ignored and deleted, any hate towards me, my rp partners or characters that i write will mean an immediate unfollow. i don't engage in callout culture and drama in any way (steer right clear of it as a matter of fact). i keep an eye out for more serious things, but overall, i'm here to relax and not get stressed about other people.
ACTIVITY. may be spotty at times as i can go through periods where i don't feel like writing much. i'm always lurking and keeping an eye on my notifications, so even if i haven't posted anything in a while, feel free to shoot me a message.Β
REPLIES, MEMES & THINGS. usually, when i'm around, i like dedicating my time to draft rather than memes, which is why i don't often reblog them. if you're new and just want to break the ice, though, feel free to grab something from the meme tag to send my way as they don't really have an expiration date. usually, when sending or receiving memes, i expect them to be turned into threads, but it's not mandatory.
FOLLOWING. crossovers and ocs are more than welcome, as long as there's an easy way for our characters to interact. i don't have aus for matt just on the ready as i prefer plotting them out with a partner first, so i might not follow you back if i don't see a way for our characters to interact. if you have any ideas, feel free to message me. this blog isΒ duplicate friendly. i love matt in almost every iteration, so i'm always open to interacting with other matt muses, whether it's writing or just exchanging headcanons and such. seriously, i'm not kidding when i say i'm a huge daredevil nerd i love this stupid man so much. additionally, i have a secret mike murdock muse on this blog who would love to annoy his twin brother, i'm just saying.
SHIPPING. yes. but in all seriousness, it's no exaggeration to say i'll ship matt with pretty much anyone. obviously chemistry will always play a role there, but matt is flirty and falls in love very easily. just shoot me a message and we can get talking.
NSFW. i'm very unlikely to write it unless i know the other mun and am comfortable with them, but it may happen once in a blue moon. in that case it'll be tagged accordingly and etc. i'm okay with discussing nsfw headcanons though. let's just not make it 99% of our ooc interactions.
TRIGGERS. i do my best to tag them accordingly. i do read everyone's rules before following and again before interacting, but something may occasionally slip my mind. if you need something tagged and i failed to do so, please send me a message and i'll fix it asap. i don't have any triggers myself. at most a deep hatred of chip zdarsky's daredevil run which will become a full on rant if you ask me about it.Β
CREDITS.Β all icons and graphics seen on this blog are made by me unless stated otherwise. the only exception as of writing this is the psd i use, which was made by jaynedits. any artwork on this blog is not made by me unless stated otherwise. any graphics made with comic book art will be official art from a comic or cover. credit goes to their original artists.
ABOUT THE MUN.Β iβm liam (he/him), iβve been rping on tumblr for 12+ years, most of which has been dedicated to writing matt/dd. iβm a massive daredevil nerd, so if you want a shortcut to being friends, just come yell at me about anything dd related. movie, show, comics, i guarantee iβll match your energy. beyond that, just generally be nice and we can be friends in no time. discord is open for ic and ooc purposes. just shoot me a message if you want my username.

Matt frowned, unsure of where to start. Or how to start. It wasn't until long after everything had happened that he actually learned what Mary's powers actually were and how they had actually affected him. It made a lot of things fall into placeβ it explained why he'd feel so uneasy about her back then, the way that feeling would disappear whenever they met.
Still, it didn't make him feel any better. Mind control wouldn't change how much he hurt Karen, and even if it did, he couldn't shake the feeling that maybe that hadn't even been what happened. He could resist Purple Man's control, after all, why not Mary's? But then again, he would've never hurt Karen on purpose. Not after everything they'd been through.
He leaned into her touch, leaning in until he was resting his head on her lap. "Justβ¦ bad memories." He tried explaining it to her once, but hadn't been surprised when she refused to hear any of it. Ever since they got back together, they hadn't touched on the subject again. "You know, IβI never really apologized to you, aboutβ¦ about her. I'm sorry," he said, taking her hand and bringing it to his lips. "I didn'tβ¦ I just need you to know that I never felt anything for her in that way. Or any way. I regret it every single day."

β I'd have sent you a text otherwise, β hint of amusement in her voice as she looked back to meet where unseeing eyes wandered. β I'm not always the harbinger of death you think of me. β She'd be hurt by the subtle insinuation had she not been used to it.
"That's not what I think. I'd react the same way if it was Spider-Man up here instead of you. Actually, I'd probably be a little bit more worried," He added, offering her a smile. It was never a good thing if his two lives were colliding. It taught him to be wary.
"So, if you're not here as the harbinger of death, what brings you by?" He asked as he approached her on the edge of the building.

"Yeah, yeah. You're talking a lot of shit for a guy who can barely stand up," He said, draping Frank's arm over his shoulder so he could help the other man to the couch. "And no worries, you're helping with the cleaning later. Consider it payment for patching you up and dealing with your shit." It isn't a complaint or an objection, though, as he soon makes his way to his first aid kit once Frank is settled. "What was it this time anyway?"

@altarbov πβοΈ πΆοΈ I didn't β€οΈ the starter call because I was already plottin'...
"JesufβMaddβ" Half a cucumber sandwich muffled her words in reaction to spotting which picture of her he framed for his office desk. Karen was perched on the desk in place of the primary work spot, legs casually crossed while eating part of the lunch she stopped by to drop off. "This is the picture your students see of me? We look so cheesy."
It was classic: New Year's Eve from a few years ago, kissing with the city's lights a blur of colors around them. They'd gone outside since it was unseasonably warm without snow.
He probably chose it for the inscription she wrote on the back at the time: you're all my favorite midnights. xx Karen. Following the words with his fingertips told which moment the picture captured.
"Our wedding photos look less stock image." She brought the frame close to her face, "Wow, my hair was all over the place with the wind that night. It took down our power line, remember? We had to find all those candles to light for the rest of the party."
Karen's visit was unexpected but appreciated. His new job is still a little nerve-wracking, and after one week, he's still settling in. So to be able to sit down and eat lunch with his wife in the middle of the day was a nice way to recharge between lectures.
Her reaction caught him by surprise, momentary confusion as he tried to figure out what caused it, and then letting out a laugh when he realized it was about her picture.
"Yeah, it was a good night," He smiled. "Even after we had to break out the candles. I mean, it didn't make any difference to me, but I believe I heard someone say the lighting was very atmospheric. What does that even mean?" The lighting didn't matter to him much then, and neither did the picture now. He just figured it was better than having his desk be entirely empty, and as far as he was concerned, Karen's picture was the best way to make it better, even if he couldn't really look at it.
Half of the reason this was the one he chose was the note she wrote on the back that he could run his finger over. The photo frame was easy to take apart for that exact reason.
"But I'll have you know, I had one of my students in here the other day, and they thought you were beautiful, so I don't think your hair is a big deal. You're gorgeous either way," He said, matter-of-factly as ever before, taking another bite of his sandwich. "You can pick a different picture if you want, though."
"That's enough for a lifetime of dates and then some." It sounded a lot like marriage which she only heard after saying it. She didn't want to scare him off due to a joking reply.
It was everyone's right to have their own opinion about marriage, but as far as she knew those in the saving people business (super-powered or not) didn't promise for better or worse with a pair of rings. The city had the Richards and Tony Stark's on and off engagements, but how many actually settled down? Firefighters and crime fighters β any day could be their last. For people who dedicated their lives to saving others they spent a lot of their own life alone.
"I didn't know you cooked." There wasn't much call for it to rise in conversation about housing authorities and state legislature, but they spent enough lunch or coffee breaks together it would have come up by now. "Is that a 'get your head out of the office ritual' or just something you enjoy doing?"
"Great! Sounds like we'll never run out of plans." A lifetime of dates was a long time. The kind of time Matt was never sure he could actually commit to. He wanted toβ he tried, but something always got in the way. It wasn't fair to drag Milla into his life, to make her a part of it, only for her to end up like the others. He should know better by now.
And yet, he couldn't help it. He couldn't help the way his heart skipped a beat whenever she reached to take his arm, or how he'd perk up whenever he heard her heartbeat approaching his office. The way she pulled him in was stronger than he was, stronger than whatever fears he might have over her future. It wasn't lost on him how selfish that was.
"A little bit of both, I think," He answered her with a shrug. "It's relaxing, too. A way to get my mind off things, I guess. What about you stop by for dinner tomorrow night? I'd love some company one of these days."
